Essential Outdoor Tech For Houston Smart Homes
Landscape Audio System
Instead of having two speakers playing loudly to cover an outdoor space, consider a landscape speaker system. The backyard is filled with sound without having excessively loud volume.
This is the same technology used at amusement parks. You can clearly hear "It's a small world" from a number of small hidden speakers.
Landscape speaker systems have also evolved to include built-in lighting, such as Episode Radiance brand speakers. For example, your pathway lighting could also be used as speakers to fill the entire yard with sound!
Outdoor TV
A Sunbrite TV is the ideal choice for an outdoor home entertainment setup. This outdoor-rated television is built with a special powder-coated aluminum exterior and is designed to withstand the elements.
The Sunbrite TV is also sealed and protected against rain, dust, insects, and humidity. It also has a built-in temperature control system that ensures optimal performance even in extreme temperatures. With a Sunbrite TV, you can enjoy your favorite entertainment in any outdoor environment without the worry of a damaged or malfunctioning TV.
Surface Mount Speakers
Surface mount outdoor speakers are the classic example of outdoor audio many of our customers request or have owned in the past. These speakers typically come in black or white and are capable of being aimed at the desired listening area.
The majority of speaker systems come in stereo pairs where each speaker handles the left and right of the sound mix. If a homeowner has a small area where two speakers aren't practical, dual-voice-coil speaker models can be used. These models combine the left and right speakers into a single speaker-cabinet. This greatly reduces the physical footprint of the speakers.
Recessed Outdoor Speakers
Recessed outdoor speaker have slowly become a more popular alternative to surface mounted outdoor speakers. Their minimalist aesthetic makes them appealing because they do not draw attention to themselves, and they also do not sacrifice performance.
Even better, these speakers come with removable magnetic speaker grilles. These speaker grilles can be removed and painted, matching the color of the ceiling or wall they are mounted to.
